Nutrition and Health Economics

The 2009 Nestlé International Nutrition Symposium has once again brought leading scientists together from different academic disciplines, with different points of view, to engage in dialogue about a nutrition issue of global importance. This year the spotlight was on Health Economics, drawing together some of the world’s leading Health Economists with leading clinical and nutrition scientists from around the world.

During this two-day symposium, over 100 invited scientists and key opinion leaders discussed the relationship between social policies and health, as well as the impact of health on the economy.
